Ashokanand is the new KSCA president

PR Ashokanand, the senior most vice-president of the KSCA has been elevated following the death of Srikkantadatta Wadiyar. The post of the president of the KSCA was vacant following the demise of Wadiyar, less than a week after he had won the elections beating Sadanand Maiya.

Speaking to the press after his nomination, Ashokanand promised to revive tournaments which were scrapped by the previous administration led by former leg-spinner and legendary Indian cricketer, Anil Kumble.

"Will do whatever our late president had envisioned, said the former Karnataka player after he was formally elected the president at Fridays Managing Committee meeting here.

"He (Wadiyar) had a great vision. His biggest ambition was to make Karnataka the best cricket association in the country and well ensure that his wishes are fulfilled. Will try to revive all the tournaments, like KPL (Karnataka Premier League), YS Ramaswamy (memorial knock-out tournament for Group I teams), and other T20 tournaments (for Group I teams), which were not held", he said.
